1) As far as I remember, you won't be able to get the full path to the
filename in all browsers on the client side.  You can do it on the
server-side (in your servlet).
2) I don't think you will be able to do that (assuming your G: drive
is either mapped to a unix directory using samba maybe, or to another
windows directory). The form of the path name will depend on the OS of
the client that sends the files and in your case, I don't think
there's a way for the browser to know that "G:\abc.psr" corresponds to
"/home/aa20/abc.psr".
